Thanks Steve..

.. for a US$19.95 upgrade for my iPod Touch so I can have the same features I've already hacked into it from an iPhone
.. for a US$1999 thin Macbook with a non-replaceable battery and an 80Gb hard drive (seriously, you couldn't fit a 160Gb from an iPod? that would have actually made it a useful product, but no, the only other option is a AU*$1700* "upgrade" to a 64GB SSD drive)
.. for dropping the price of the Apple TV in the US but not in Australia
.. for the Time Capsule WLAN AP with a 1TB hard drive that costs AU$199 than buying an Airport Extreme base station and a USB 1TB hard drive to plug into it

So sure, last night was no iPod-hiFi and leather iPod cases, but it sure was crap.

Making the Air come standard with 2gig RAM shows that it's going to really need it to run the OS X and apps at a 1.6gig processor.

I admire your conclusions' jumping ability =O.o= But I'm running OS X and many apps including photoshop, synergy and three different browsers on a 1 GHz PowerPC G4 (with only a single core, obviously), with only 1 GB of ram, and doing fine.

Yeah, but Intel Macs are worse memory hogs :/
